AllerEase Ultimate Allergy Protection and Comfort Zippered Mattress Protector, Queen

After reading that this product was a frequently returned item (despite the high star rating), I looked further at the 1-star ratings to make my decision. Several purchasers sated that their mattress protector ripped while placing it over mattress or it was not waterproof as stated in the description. I purchased 2 in twin size for my daughter's day bed with trundle. I placed the protector on the top mattress myself (yes, it would have been simpler with 2 people), however it did not rip. I was careful not to tug or pull too hard. I also purchased the organic cotton mattress pad by AllerEase to place on top of the protector. I slept on the day bed that night and never heard any "plasticy" noises. This may be helpful for those considering their selection not based on having a bedwetting youngster (or animals). I simply wanted something to help protect the new mattresses to keep dust/allergens, etc. out. I have always placed a mattress pad over the mattress protector. If you are like-minded in wanting to minimize chemical exposure that we are bombarded in today, I looked into the HEIQ technology listed on the packaging of the protector. It's purpose is to minimize odors from bodies (human) and as a result of bacteria. This is from the company's website: HeiQ Pure™ products effectively address body odors and bacterial derived odors on textiles Improved comfort, hygiene and freshness Exceptional antimicrobial efficiency and durability (guaranteed performance for the lifetime of the product) bluesign approved and OEKO-TEX suited Preserve fabric properties such as breathability, hand feel, color and wicking Suitable for all fiber types It accomplishes this by silver ions, and I did not find that it is potentially toxic. Again, I have a mattress pad over the protector. I was equally satisfied with the pad from AllerEase which is organic cotton as the top surface. The sides are the typical synthetic nylon or polyester found in most similar products. I hope this will help others decide what is right for them.

Chose the AllerEase Ultimate Allergy Protection Ultimate Cotton to help cut down on allergens from our mattress. Amazon states that this product is returned frequently, so a few details: Item is difficult to dry after washing as stated in reviews. Due to waterproofing the mattress cover comes out of the wash dripping like a plastic bag, plan on hanging the mattress cover for a few days to allow for air drying, then toss in dryer for a short period to fluff. Note that we noticed that the cover seemed to stick together in a few places when we tried to dry it in the dryer for over 15 minutes, air drying with a short fluff in the dryer worked beautifully. Fits the mattress nicely, slides over like an envelope with a zipper closure on one end. A definite two-person task to put the cover on. The cover does have a waterproof feature so it does have the "crinkle" sound, however the ultimate cotton feature on this cover refers to the top which is softer and quieter for sleeping. Also purchased the pillow covers to cut down on allergens. So far we're noticing a marked difference in the mornings, waking up with no stuffiness or sneezing. A good purchase for us at a fairly reasonable price point. Quality: Nice zipper seems to be good quality Comfort: Ultimate cotton top provides a more comfortable, less "crinkle" sleeping experience

Quality was good and it was easy to put around our mattress.

It was great perfect fit.

This definitely protected our mattress but it’s a b*tch to put on a 12 inch height mattress, don’t get me started on the zippering. I need to repurchase but the only thing driving me away is the difficulty to put on but I’m torn cause it really did protect our mattress

The product itself seems to be high quality. However, I would not purchase this if my mattress was 14” deep. It was almost impossible for my husband and me to get this on the mattress. The company contacted me so that I could my concerns. Because of their communication, I changed the review to 5 stars.

I couldn't find anything similar to these at any store in India, and I looked everywhere. They're an excellent bedbug barrier but don't make you sweat at night. It was worth the extra cost of importing them.

Really awful fit - and the top is a horrible material which crinkles and makes a noise when you lie on it. Would not recommend

Helped with my allergies. Less blocked nose possibly due to reduced dust mites from bed.

Fits my thick Queen foam mattress with some room to spare. My foam mattress made it harder to get on than a traditional mattress would have been as it didn't slide on as easy, but that isn't the protectors fault. Very nice to sleep on, not "crinkly" sounding when you move like some can be. Very well made! Good zipper. Definitely water proof as it is hard to wash. lol Have to move it around in the wash a few times to get as much water out of it then spin before putting in dryer. Holds water like a balloon. Love it. Would buy another one! Highly recommend.

tengo un colchón de 55cm de alto, y sin problemas lo pude poner, se ajusta perfecto, y protege completamente el colchón, me gusto mucho y me da mas confianza tenerlo protegido con algo de buena calidad, los materiales son excelentes, en mi experiencia este tipo de productos son desechables ya que después de 6 meses al cambiarlos, la tela de arriba se comienza a pelar la parte impermeable y se comienza a pelar por dentro, ya el tiempo dirá si sucede lo mismo con este modelo, pero la verdad me gusto y se siente de muy buenos materiales.
